Embodiment Construction

[0020]As shown in FIGS. 1-7, this invention is directed to a hammer support system 9 configured to conveniently store a hammer 12 or other such tool in a tool belt 14 while preventing the hammer 12 from striking a person wearing the tool belt 14 while the person is walking. The hammer support system 9 may be configured such that a hammer 12 may be easily inserted into the system 9 for temporary storage and easily removed from the support system 9 when the hammer 12 is needed. The hammer support system 9 is a robust configuration that is capable of withstanding continuous abuse typically encountered when used by professional tradesman.

[0021]As shown in FIGS. 1-3, the hammer support system 9 may be formed from a hammer support device 10 formed from an upper support arm 16 attached to the tool belt 14 to form an opening 18 sized to enable a handle 20 of a hammer 12 to be inserted into the opening 18 yet prevent a head 22 of a hammer 12 from passing through the opening 18. The opening 1...

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60 / 869,139, filed Dec. 8, 2006.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]This invention is directed generally to tool belts, and more particularly to tool support devices attached to tool belts.BACKGROUND[0003]Construction workers often use tool belts to conveniently contain hardware and tools in easily accessible open pockets. Such tool belts often are configured to support tools, such as hammers, nail punches, scrappers, measuring tapes and other such tools. Hammers have conventionally been supported within single leather straps and in other embodiments, within single metal rings. The hammer supports are typically affixed to a base member with belt loops that enable the base member to hang from a belt. In other embodiments, the hammer supports have been affixed to the outer surfaces of pouches on a tool belt. Typically, the hammer supports are positioned such that the handle of th...
